Introduction: The cause-effect relationship between systemic arterial hypertension and a great risk for developing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is still uncertain. The unknown influence of SAHOS in the systemic arterial hypertension has taken to excessive diagnosis of idiopathic systemic arterial hypertension, discouraging the research of the real cause, which in most cases could be associated with sleeping disorders. Materials and methods: In these study patients with hypertension, who came to the ONIRIS medical centre, which is specialized in sleeping disorders. The patients were evaluated on variables such as body mass index, waist hip index, neck circumference, smoking and alcohol, and in that way to determine which of them developed OSA. Results: Out of 309 patients evaluated, 67.4% were positive for OSA, confirming some degree of relationship between OSA and hypertension. Also, variables included such
as risk factors, showed similar results to those obtained in other studies that have shown such association. Conclusions: OSA is more evidenced in male sex, in more common in ages 50 and
above and present over-weight; such factors place the patients in high risk to develop vascular problems that affect the quality of life and can cause the death of the patients.
